So Bradd Pitt did this recent major interview where he talked about all kinds of things, including the fact that he was on drugs the whole time he was married to Jennifer Aniston. In fact he pretty much blames Aniston for it, then goes on to say he Angelina Jolie helped him become a better person.

Newbies, when we talk about how the WS/AP rewrite their marital history, this is what we are talking about. When we talk about how the WS/AP need to perpetually fuel the drama with the BS because it fuels their shitty "relationships", THIS is what we are talking about.

Also, thank you Brad Pitt for inspiring me to torrent your new movie instead of paying to see it, you are a gigantic asshole.

Keep calm and carry on.

I completely agree with you on this. Re-writing the marital history, blaming Jen for his problems, treating Angie like some angel from heaven who "saved" him, etc.

But sorry to say, I'm still gonna swoon over him in Fight Club. Especially the scene by the van full of explosives where he rips of that purple jacket and exposes his chest

I think his comments hit home for me because my XH was a heavy drug user and drinker during the marriage. I could imagine him saying the same crap. Like instead of being a real man and admitting the drugs made him a terrible husband, choosing to blame the marriage for the drug use. GRRR!

Keep calm and carry on.

Sadly I still love Angelina. Don't care too much for Brad. I guess they are apart of the 3%.... Maybe because of the kids.

Can't stand either one of them and would not pay to see any of their movies. Their affair makes them both ugly to me.

Completely none of my business, and I really shouldn't assume about people I don't know, but I think they have an open marriage..

The way he keeps dragging the M into the open to justify is actions is right out of the unremorseful WS hand book. He has been talking bad about the M for years, so typical of blamshifting. I find it interesting that he is STILL doing this 8+ years later. Meanwhile Jen has clearly moved on.

I can't stand Brangelina and will not watch anything either are in.

I was wondering too why he still talks about it after all these years and why in such a negative way, just to then turn around and say that Jennifer is a great person. Sounds like a desperate attempt to stay relevant and shows his lack of class.

It does make him look like such an ass. His ex wife says nothing about him and has moved on with her life. Yet, he still finds the need to publicly bash her and their marriage.

And Angelina Jolie is a jackass. Despite all of her humanitarian concerns, she's a very selfish person and looks like she makes no bones about getting what she wants at the expense of everyone else.

Neither one of them are relevant or classy.

This kind of makes me very sad since I know the ex told a lot of people a lot of lies about me and I am sure they think his rewrite is true and he is so lucky to be free from me.

My WH did, too.

I base my opinion of the Pitt-Aniston marriage on an interview they gave soon after they were married, when they both said they did not know if the marriage was forever, but it was for as long as it felt good.

At the time, I believed it to be a publicity stunt. I now think it was immature impulse. I think Jennifer Aniston likely became more invested than Brad Pitt.

But the fact is, he did what we wanted our WSs to do: he ended his marriage. And I think there were a lot of reasons for this that we don't know. Was his wife hurt? Of course, and that is terribly sad. But I just don't see the end of their marriage in black and white terms.

Celebrities get interviewed. They get asked what people want to read. They answer the questions. (Aniston has, indeed, spoken about him.)

I don't believe he's rewriting much, to tell you the truth.

I'm sorry. I know that he's the target of wrath for many BSs. I have been a BS for over 20 years, so it's not because I'm unsympathetic to BSs or sensitive to history rewrites. I was trashed for decades--without my knowledge. I get it. I know what it feels like to learn that everyone you know thinks you're something that doesn't even begin to resemble what you are----because a lying, cheating douche has told lies about you.

I just don't think that's what he's doing. I think that he perhaps has grown up. (And I also think he was somewhat unfairly vilified.)

One thing I can never understand is how everyone completely ignores the fact that Anniston became an OW too. People love to hate angenlina Jolie over what she did but Anniston can have an affair and run off with someone else's part dr and everyone's cheering? I find her behaviour more deplorable as she still tries to maintain a poor, innocent victim persona.

We make our own fortunes and call them fate, and what better excuse to choose a path then to insist it's our destiny.

This is what happens when 2 narcissists get together. They desereve each other.

2. Psychoanalysis . erotic gratification derived from admiration of one's own physical or mental attributes, being a normal condition at the infantile level of personality development.

I divorced him because I didn't like his girlfriend.

All the infidelity stuff aside, when someone faults others for their own life choices I have to roll my eyes. He's pretty much saying his personality is shaped by the flavor of the moment rather than any personal conviction. How weak and malleable. Why would he want to admit that?
